medicine tounge and a heavy hand   together made a fist   they put me down and I do not rise   and now as an old child   I'll hand it down   I'll hand it down   then I blow around   see me blow around   just like dirty paper      medicine tounge and a heavy hand   together made a list   row on row   of cold and hardened hearts that wish   my weeds and flowers   would together both grow wild   from a distance   from a distance   they come up close to smile      medicine tounge and a heavy hand   together made a fist   they put me down and I do not rise   and now as an old child      far be it from me to take care   take care the words you say   in heart on new's day      by word of mouth   all young men do stagger   and all come to shambles by heart   saw your eyes wide and flashing   setting the woods on fire   breathing heavy dirt   beneath the skin of a liar    did I cross your heart   behind my back just then   I must push on hard   in prayer and take it by force   though you've said it   you say it better   with more conviction than I      medicine tounge and a heavy hand   together made a list   row on row   of cold and hardened hearts that wish   my weeds and flowers   would together both grow wild   from a distance   from a distance   they come up close to smile
